How well people know the Law of the Land?
How familiar R U with Road Rules?
What is the intended purpose behind each of these laws and rules?
#SriLanka Education System must be reformed. Legal Literacy is essential.
Not to become a lawyer but to know your rights as a citizen.

Why ain’t the Gov pass a bill to formalize all Gov institutions to use fingerprint machines and make it mandatory for all public servants to use it in order to be eligible to the payroll. Those who want to abide can continue and the rest can find a job elsewhere. #SriLanka

We should be able to see who is on the list. Glad it’s open to the public.
First hand experience on how it was misused and fraudulently taken money since 2023.
Many more are out there who shouldn’t be on that list or fraudulently taking money.
This nonsense must stop.

This is wrong. @CBSL issued many warnings internally about debt crisis which the government chose to ignore. Supreme court case regarding economic crisis clearly indicates how CBSL officers warned the monetary board and gov, and recommended to go to IMF program. Gov ignored such

Sri Lanka’s @CBSL boasts more female than male executives, 28 PhDs, 639 Master’s and 722 Bachelor’s holders—yet this brain pool failed to foresee, warn of, or avert the 2022 collapse that led to the first-ever sovereign default. What were they doing? පොල් ගැවද?

He’s 100% right.I heard nothing but complete truth here. looks like an American Revolution, made in China! American government works for billionaires and wars while the Chinese government work for their people …that’s the difference.

Would making it easier to pay fines lead to more unlawful behavior? Countries hv avoided this model. Higher fines or harder payments will curb reckless driving. We need digital systems 👉🏾 on driver accountability thru behavior tracking. Parking fines,etc-✅ traffic violations-❌

Absolutely thrilled to have successfully concluded the GovPay Traffic Fines Workshop today in Dambulla! We’re now all set to launch the pilot run of the GovPay Traffic Fines system. A heartfelt thank you to the IGP, DIG Traffic, and the Sri Lanka Police for organizing such a well-executed and impactful workshop. Stay tuned for the GoLIVE of the #GovPay Traffic Fines pilot! Sincere gratitude to everyone who made this possible—especially ICTA, MoDE, MoTransport, LankaPay, and all others who supported us throughout this journey.

Strengths to these Judicial Officers upholding the law of the land for our people. Just society is the only hope that those innocent and helpless people of ours, especially from rural #SriLanka holding onto, that they are treated equally regardless of who they are.

How though? Do we know what caused this? E.g. MILCO productions were stopped for a longest while and products weren’t in the market. Then how is it possible that there was a substantial operational costs at an enterprise? Where did the generated income go?
